Hi

Friend of mine here is seeking for advice. He's been sea kayaking for a couple of years. But it was only recently when she started getting into rivers and she'd like to learn a bit of playing. She's really new to all this and she's tried a couple of kayaks. She'd also like to buy a cheap 2nd hand boat that would be suitable for a beginner, but would also help her start to develop some skills.

Others suggested the Ina Zone. Would u consider it as a good move?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Tell her an Inazone is a good choice & that she can get them at a good price. Other boats she may want to consider would be the Dagger Kingpin or the Liquid Logic Space Cadet. Also advise her to search for boat reviews & images of these boats.

Oh, tell her to just try & find the one that feels right for her.

Tell her to go for a brand new Tek Sport instead of Inazone! Not only that it comes at a pretty good price, but I consider it to be the best boat for a beginner. A mate of mine had one when he was just starting & it's good for developing into better skills. I've also used ot for paddling a few times & it's nothing but GOOD!!

Redline Kayaks are good club boats! But then i dont think it's a good idea for her to buy one if she already has the basic skills in sea kayaking. She may only get bored with the redline kayak & it may just hold back her skills.

Best option still is to try as many club or friends' boats as she can before buying her own..

But honestly, i dont think she would go wrong with An Inazone kayak.
